One question, how does that fit in your pocket?
Maybe he has Doraemon's 4th dimension pocket.

Wow. Looks awesome.
Using something like this? Would be the only way to make that whole gargantuan stack anything near "portable".

I was thinking of something much more simple, something like Tardis Technology for the pockets
With the way that rig probably sounds I doubt portability even comes to mind. Has to sound just amazing but costs more than my car is worth.
I've seen that monster stack before...

This combo w/Zeus-R sounds unreal. I get such enjoyment listening to music in the evening after work,...it's actually therapeutic and so I feel like it's money well spent.
What I'm listening with now represents a few years of hit and miss (money lost) with so-so IEM's, DAP's, DAC's and amps...with this set-up, I feel like I condensed a warehouse full of not bad but average beer, into a few bottles of really nice liquor.
I feel like SoundEq,...got tired of not being fully satisfied with quite a few 'TOTL' IEM's, selling for a loss trying to recoup some $ to try the next 'best' piece of gear.
No, I can't fit this combination into my pocket but I can move it around the house.

Don't doubt it sounds fantastic and looks fantastic. Portability who cares with the way it probably sounds. I've done the same thing and thinned the herd several times, especially with over/on ears. Just got to a point in life where simple works just fine. Same thing with vehicles and boats in my life but I am 58.

What cable are you using on the Zeus?
I saw a really huge stack when I was in Tokyo in November. Amazingly, the guy had a custom-built bag for the whole thing. He had like 6 amps put together.. and a really big headphone (a Final Audio, if I'm not mistaken).
For me, my Zeus and Mojo are all I need for portable music bliss. Of course, those gems and a transport (DAP). Not very small, either, but still, anything for great sound.
